How to open a script in a running MATLAB instance with Windows Command Line?

22 views (last 30 days)
Double-click a script file in Windows File Explorer will open the script in a running MATLAB instance if it exists. Only when no instances are running will a new instance start. However in Windows commandline:
matlab SomeScript.m
This command will always start a new MATLAB instance, regardless of whether any instances are running. Is there a way to fully mimic the double-click behavior in Windows Commandline?
After all, how does MATLAB tell whether I'm calling it by double-click on a script or in cmd?

Here are all the options available while launching matlab from cmd. However there doesn't seem to be any option to open without starting new instance.
